1. Sixth Pay Commmission gives Rs. 6000 as Militry Pay but reduces the basic pay of militry officers by around same amount (Starting Basic pay of militry officers fixed at Rs. 15600 vs Rs. 21000 for other class 'A' central government employees). Thats give with one hand and take back with another. This coupled with other riders places militry officers at great disadvantage to civilian counterparts.
2. Service chiefs meet Defence Minister twice in end March to correct the blunder by sixth pay commission as no. of officers resigning goes up (only NDTV reported this fact).
3. To silennce the armed forces CNN IBN made to carry stories(on 02 Apr at 9 PM prime for a case that happened last year and actionn has been taken by army against officers) like 'Army Ashamed' & what not over fake killing of militants last year ( Militants deserved to be killed anyway other wise they will hijack some plane and ask for release). After all 'Padam Bhusan' has not been awarded for free to some one. Its for opening big mouth and saying that army is covering up fake encounter of terrorists.
